Kossuth Kifli

15 March is the anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 outbreak. Kossuth was one of the most influential lawyer, journalist, politician of his time. Also a devoted freedom fighter. Apparently this cake was his favourite. Let’s remember for all who fought for freedom at any time throughout the history with this cake!

Ingredients

9 Eggs

180g Unsalted Butter on room temperature

360g Icing Sugar

360g Plain Flour

1/2 Juice of a Lemon

Walnut, Almond, Pecan Nut

Preparation time: 20 minute

baking time: 60 minute

Serves: 8 person

Separate the eggs. In a big bowl mix the butter and the icing sugar. Add the yolks one-by-one until it’s smooth. Add the lemon juice and the flour gradually as well.

Whisk the egg white until it’s stiff. Fold gradually into the mixture with a wooden spoon carefully.

Grease a baking pan with butter and sprinkle with flour.

Spoon the mixture into the baking pan. It should be around 1cm or 1/3 inch high. Sprinkle the top with coarsely grounded walnut, almond or pecan nut (I’m not too keen on walnut) and icing sugar.
